Doesn't seem to work with webpack-dev-server and FaviconsWebpackPlugin

I’m trying to use this package to ensure that favicons-webpack-plugin and html-webpack-plugin will do their thing and inject generated favicon information into my index.htm file, but it doesn’t seem to work.

I’m on the latest webpack and webpack-cli, and I’ve tried webpack-dev-server with and without --hot.

What happens is on the first build of a new webpack-dev-server session, the favicons are generated, but on every subsequent build they are not. This is also the same behavior I get if I don’t use html-webpack-harddisk-plugin.

Interestingly, this problem seems to only apply to favicons. I also use html-webpack-plugin to inject a CSS stylesheet, and that works fine on every build.

I’m not sure where in the process this is going wrong, please let me know if there’s a better place to file this issue.

Hmm @Uzwername, I think I actually gave up on this since it doesn’t affect production builds. I got used to having a blank favicon on my development tab haha.

fixed with the following versions:

html-webpack-plugin 5.x favicons-webpack-plugin 5.x html-webpack-harddisk-plugin 2.x
